From a trip to New Brighton about a month ago. This is about 1 1/2 hours after sunset. Navigating the rocks in pitch black was a "challenge".
ISO 200
3 Minutes @ F16
Whilst some may not like the flare, its what made the image for me.

Some nice elements in this Nick, particularly the light catching the ridges in the fg rocks. The number of lights flaring across the Mersey are quite intrusive though and fight for competition - especially that really big one - possibly even winning over the lighthouse.
Might be a reason for the passing traffic ... but unless people say then you won't know I suppose ... a common problem of mine to 
Still gets my vote though,

Thanks everyone, and a big thanks Paul, I really appreciate it - I nearly took out most of the large flare - and will do so for the print (I'm awaiting on some more ink). I'm not 100% convinced with the prime is mightily sharp, but as its quite an old design it does suffer from flare quite a bit - here most of it helps - but not all.
EDIT : Thanks Melanie for the award really appreciated.
Thanks everyone. As Les mentioned I've consciously started to stay longer before heading home (or back to the hotel).
What amazes me is the colours that are still in the sky often invisible to the naked eye - this was at 9:30 a few weeks back when sunset was at 8PM.
Looks good to me Nick and I quite like the flare.
Darren.
Really like this shot Nick, and also like the fact that you didn't pack up just after the sun dissapeared!
Great comp and pin sharp.

I agree - some would avoid the lights but I think they enhance the image.
Phil.
A super composition and stunning quality image, Nick, love the colours - and the starburst effect.

'Navigating the rocks in pitch black was a "challenge".' but well worth it for such a great result... Dave
